An old Chevrolet truck is among the personal items left in Palmer Canyon after the Grand Prix Fire destroyed
most of the homes. After years of trying to find a way to rebuild, most of the current property owners in the
canyon are now selling as a group. The roughly 65 acres of land is listed at $7 million. Story on page 3.

Dear Editor:
Thank you for your coverage of
Pomona Colleges Master Plan and
specifically the plans for a new Pomona
College Museum of Art. As you reported, the college requested earlier this
week to have our request for approval of
the master plan, environmental impact
review and zoning change removed from
this weeks city council agenda.
In recent days, we became aware of
community concerns regarding the potential size and design of the proposed
museum. These concerns were based on
speculation about what might be built.
Although design plans are not required
at this stage of the process, we would like
to promptly and openly address any concerns. We want our community to be as
excited as we are about the type of museum and public space that will be created in the years ahead. The final
proposed design will, of course, be submitted at the appropriate time to the
Citys Architectural Commission.
Before we proceed further in the approval process, we will offer opportunities to share our aspirations and concepts
with the community. While we have not
made specific design decisions, we will
work with our architects to provide concepts for review in the coming weeks
and months. We will also plan for opportunities for the public to meet with the
architect and the colleges project team.
As we sought an architectural firm
that could embrace the unique character
of the Claremont Village and the legacy
of arts here, we instructed potential firms
that we will expect a building and site
of distinction, and a transition between
city and college that is suitable to the
urban and architectural context of the
district.

ADVENTURES
IN HAIKU

After reviewing several firms, the college selected Machado + Silvetti, an experienced group with an outstanding
portfolio of college museums. Their
work is nationally recognized for its sensitivity to architectural and community
contexts. Over the past several months,
they have provided us with concept studies that have given us much to consider
and to evaluate going forward.
I believe that meeting with the architects and understanding our charge to
them will result in a much better understanding of our desire to connect the college with the community, build an
important regional asset and advance
Claremonts interest in and passion for
the arts.
We look forward to seeing and hearing from the community in the months
ahead.

Is there a water shortage?


Dear Editor:
Ninety-five housing units are being
built in Claremont. These, on Base Line
and Towne, come after other developments have recently been completed farther west on Base Line and another on
the south end of Indian Hill Boulevard.
We are being warned that there is a
water shortage. Current residents are
going to have to let their lawns and trees
die. Residents will suffer usage restrictions or be fined if they dont cut way
back on their water consumption.
So, where is the water coming from
for the toilets, showers and landscaping
for all of this new residential build-out?
Shouldnt there be a moratorium on new
construction until the water problem is
permanently solved?
If the city didnt issue building per-

Palmer Canyon goes up for sale 12 years after fire

he residents of Palmer
Canyon saw much loss
in 2003 as the Grand
Prix Fire swept through their
idyllic community, consuming
43 homes and leaving in its
wake the charred remains of a
unique neighborhood now reclaimed by Mother Nature.

Nearly 12 years after the devastating


blaze, the Palmer Canyon Association
(PCA)an entity comprised of some
home and parcel owners from the communityis selling 65-plus acres of
canyon land at an asking price of $7
million. The sellers hope to find the
right buyer for this gated community,
but what sounds like prime Claremont
real estate presents its own set of challenges.
Many of the homeowners planned to
rebuild following the loss of their residences. However, the County of Los
Angeles required installation of infrastructure such as flood control, modern
streets and septic system updates prior
to new construction permits being
granted.
When we started talking with the
county, they gave us an estimate of $13
million to install an infrastructure, said
homeowner and PCA president Marty
Francis. A private contractor quoted
about $6 million, but the key point was
the city of Claremont wouldnt allow us
to tap into the sewer system because we
couldnt be grandfathered in. We realized we just didnt have the money to
do it. Time went on and people gave up
on the idea of rebuilding.
The Palmer Canyon Association had

hoped infrastructure costs would be


covered by a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the city of Claremont arguing the city had failed to fulfill its
obligation to keep its property surrounding the canyon clear of excess
brush.
Though the city admitted no fault, it
agreed to a $17.5 million out-of-court
settlement with the PCA and ceded
ownership of the canyon road and sur-

issues.
Unfortunately, the money from the
settlement didnt go as far as the residents had hoped. After paying the
homeowners, Mr. Francis explained, $6
million went to attorneys, leaving about
$4 million for the infrastructure fund.
Faced with the realization that they
couldnt afford to rebuild, members of
the PCA got together earlier this year

and made the decision to sell.


Complicating matters further, not all
property owners are part of the association, some parcel owners have not yet
been found and building restrictions remain intact from the original deed.
Coldwell Banker Tricounties realtor Ty
Wallace, however, is not deterred from
taking on this unique listing and believes this could still be the right opportunity for the right buyer.
Those parcels will be excluded,
says Mr. Wallace. The developer or
whoever buys it will own everything
around it and eventually, they can take
their sweet time and say, Guess what?
You want to sell your piece of land?
That risk will be on the buyer. Were
just going to disclose as much as we
can and hopefully the buyer feels its
worth the money. If not, theyll offer a
lesser price and well consider it.
In addition, four remaining residents
whose homes were spared by the fire
still live in the canyon, two of whom
have not committed to sell.
Paige Papineau has lived in Palmer
Canyon since 1973 and is still struggling to come to terms with the possibility that life in the canyon, as she knows
it, may soon be changing once again.
When youve lived here since you
were two years old and a fire hits you
and you dont want to move, its very
emotional, she says of the potential
sale. I dont know what would come
in here, so its very frightening. Its so
quiet and peaceful now. I would hate
for that to change.

Council approves special election for new police facility

laremont residents will again be


called to action as the city council
moves forward on a measure asking voters to approve a special parcel tax
to finance a new $50 million public safety
facility.
The special parcel tax will require a two-thirds approval by Claremont voters at a consolidated election
to be held November 3, 2015.
On March 24, the city council opted for a 40-year
parcel tax as its preferred method of financing for a
new public safety facility. The special tax of $286 per
parcel per year would generate approximately $3 million annually to be used to pay for debt issued to fund
the proposed police station, which the city estimates
will cost $50 million.
The council unanimously agreed that Claremont is
in need of a new police station.
I would liken it to having a sewer leakage in
everybodys home and when you face that condition,
even if dont have money to spend, you find a way to
fix the leak, Councilmember Opanyi Nasiali said at
Tuesday nights meeting. This is the citys way of
fixing a leak that needs to fixed, and this is the only
mechanism we have to do that.
Should the cost be less than $50 million, or grants
be identified to pay for a portion of the stations construction, the city council could take action at a later
date to reduce the annual amount of tax or reduce the
number of years during which it is collected. The city
council cannot, however, increase the amount of the
special parcel tax or extend the number of years for
which the tax is collected.

Since residences and businesses would derive the


same benefit from a new police station, a financing
approach that ensures all residents pay the same
amount was favored by the council.
In section 5 of the ordinance, its noted that nonprofits and institutional entities such as the Colleges
would also benefit, therefore a financing mechanism
was put in place to ensure they were not exempt.
Claremonts Finance Director Adam Pirrie emphasized during the council meeting that this section of
the ordinance had been revised. The phrase unless
such holder is by law exempt from taxation has been
replaced with unless such holder is a governmental
entity.
There was a concern that if we left the language as
it was, then entities that are currently exempt from
taxes such as Colleges, who held possessory interest
in a piece of property owned by a government entity,
would be exempt from the tax, Mr. Pirrie explained.
We wanted to restrict that exemption to governmental entities only.
Governmental entities like the city and the Claremont Unified School District will not pay the parcel
tax.
Claremont voters generally rise to the occasion
when asked to cast their ballots in a special election,
particularly when it comes to the betterment of their
community.
Last November, 11,043 of Claremonts 21,129 registered voters (about 54 percent) showed up to the
polls to weigh in on Measure Wthe bond measure
allowing the city to borrow revenue bonds to finance
the acquisition of the Claremont water system.

Hoodlums broke into a local Mexican
restaurant in serach of dinero and fled the
scene without being detected. According
to Claremont Lieutenant Mike Ciszek,
officers were called to El Ranchero at
984 W. Foothill Blvd. around 6:21 a.m.
following a report of a burglary at the
restaurant. The unknown thieves entered
the eatery by prying open the back door
of the business and stole $200 from a
cash drawer. The investigation is ongoing.

Telephone scammers continue to prey
on local senior citizens, conning one
Claremont resident out of thousands of
dollars. An unknown conman called the
75-year-old male victim at his home on
the 300 block of Julliard Drive around 11
a.m. and convinced him to deposit
$9,800 into the scammers Wells Fargo
account. The victim was under the impression he was sending money to his
grandson to bail him out of jail. Once the
victim realized it was a scam, the transaction had already been processed. Police will continue to investigate.

A Vista man failed to heed the warning
of Claremont police and paid the price.
Officers responded to the 800 block of
south Indian Hill around 3:45 p.m. after
receiving a 911 call of a man walking
around the parking lot of Dennys completely naked. When police arrived, Do-

minic Livingston had already put his


clothes back on and was advised by police he would be arrested if he showed
up again to the location. Less than three
hours later, police received another complaint from Starbucks that that the 46year-old man was trespassing. Police
again made contact with Mr. Livingston,
and arrested him for trespassing.
Wednesday, April 22
A Pomona man with a couple of tricks
up his sleeve couldnt pull the wool over
the eyes of Claremont police, who arrested him for grand theft auto. A 1997
Honda Civic stolen out of Fontana on
April 19 was spotted by police around
1:41 a.m. Officers pulled the vehicle
over near Indian Hill Boulevard and San
Bernardino Road and detained the driver,
Erik Hernandez, and his passenger. Further investigation revealed that a key not
belonging to the vehicle had been forced
into the ignition. A rear license plate on
the car had also been removed, put in the
trunk and had been cold-plated with
another Honda license plate. The 22year-old driver was arrested for the
stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property and driving on a suspended license.
His female passenger was questioned
and released.

Of Claremonts 20,679 registered voters at the time,
13,257 cast their ballots.
Jeff Descombes, a 51-year Claremont resident, believes the city is taking a step in the right direction
and residents will support their efforts.
The parcel tax is a fair and reasonable distributive
approach, he said. I know the city will be intelligent
in what it builds and how it finances that and how the
revenues are spent. Theyve generally done a good
job with it, so I approve.
Placing a measure on the November ballot for a
special election costs upwards of $80,000, including
voter pamphlets and mailings. According to Mr. Pirrie, sufficient funding is available in the citys current
budget to fund the election. Since the March 2015
city council election didnt take place, the funds originally intended for that contest are proposed to be used
to pay for the costs of a special election for the new
public safety facility.
Im proud as a council that weve gotten it to this
point, said Mayor Pro Tem Sam Pedroza just before
the council unanimously approved adding the measure to the November ballot. Lets move it forward to
our residents and leave it to our people to say yay or
nay.
Councilman Nasiali and Mayor Pro Tem Pedroza
volunteered to compose written arguments in favor
and/or against the ballot measure, with final submissions due to the city clerk by Wednesday, May 13.

area of Arrow Highway and Cambridge
Avenue around 6:53 a.m. following a report of a suspicious person in the neighborhood. Upon arrival, the man in
question identified himself as Austin
Barnes, who had an active warrant for
his arrest. Police took Mr. Barnes into
custody for the warrant and transported
to him to Claremont jail for booking.
During the booking process, the man told
police that hed lied and provided his
brothers name, stating that his real name

warrants and for lying to police.

the hotel. The 56-year-old man had removed his pants and shoes and was
yelling at security as they walked around
the property. According to police, Mr.
Casey had been at PianoPiano earlier in
the evening and was escorted to the hotel
but wasnt interested in going back to his
room. He allegedly took a swing at a witness, striking him in the chin. The witness chose not to prosecute. Mr. Casey

911 call, reporting a traffic collision on
the 700 block of Lindenwood Drive just
after midnight. Officers arrived and
made contact with Patrick Tambe, who
identified himself as the driver at the
time of the crash. The Claremont resident told police hed had one mixed
drink and was going around a curve
when his car slipped on the wet pavement. Further investigation revealed the
25-year-old driver was drunk, with preliminary tests showing he was more than
twice the legal limit. Mr. Tambe was
placed under arrest for DUI and later released.

Claremont coffee, sandwich shop invites you to Drop in

s the name implies,


The Last Drop Cafe
serves up java that is
good to the last drop.

The shop uses products made by the


Italian company Illy, the number-one
coffee brand in the world outside of the
United States because, as owner
Claremont
Mike Manning explains, I love the
om
taste and consisop
tency of it. He also
appreciates Illys
policies, which emphasize environmental sustainability as well as economic
sustainability for growers.
He is proud to announce that on April
16, Last Drop received the rare and coveted title of Artisti del Gusto (Artists of
Taste), Illys designation for the besttrained baristas. Mr. Manning and staff
members traveled to San Clemente for
training, and then Illy representatives
provided onsite lessons in making flawless cappuccinos, lattes and espressos.
The store also scored a gleaming silver Illy espresso machine, which combines grinding, brewing and steaming
power with a distinctly Art Deco aesthetic. We closed down for two weeks
just to focus on training, Mr. Manning
said. Thats how important it is to us.
Were able to serve you a true Italian
coffee for a good American price.
But while guests can choose from all
manner of coffee drinks, both hot and
cold, there is much more to The Last
Drop Cafe. Its a fine eatery as well,
with an emphasis on healthy and hearty
sandwiches made to order.
You can get nine different standard
sandwiches, either a classic like a BLT
or egg salad or one of the shops signature selections. The most popular of the
latter are Chicken Salad Delight,
Vegan Out and Mikes Favorite
(roast beef, turkey and provolone plus
lettuce and veggies piled on squaw
bread). Or you can build your own
sandwich. Breakfast sandwiches are
also on tap.
A half-sandwich is plenty filling, particularly since each concoction comes
with a cookie, with options ranging
from guilty pleasures like chocolate
chip cookies to gluten-free and vegan
selections. During the summer when the
college dining halls are closed, many of
the students who stay in town order a
whole sandwich, ensuring a tasty lunch
with a half left over for dinner.
The place also serves oatmeal, handmade soupsone for each day of the
weekthree varieties of empanadas
and a hot dog special that, for $5.95, includes a soda and chips. But Mr. Manning above all believes in the magic of
two slices of bread filled with the best
produce and meat I can bring to customers.
Ive always been a good cook, he
said. When I was in college, I worked
for a sandwich shop and it was the most
fun I ever had.

Last Drop Cafe owner Mike Manning jokes with a customer recently at his restaurant in the Claremont Village. Last Drop offers healthy freshly made foods at reasonable prices.

A big attraction at the Last Drop Cafe is the outside seating, where patrons can take
a break from the late afternoon sun.

years in the furniture industry. He was a


manufacturing manager making a sixfigure salary before he switched course.
I thought I could have a little fun and
start playing for a living instead of
working.
Mr. Manning, an Upland resident,
purchased The Last Drop in 2008 after
spotting the shop for sale on Craigslist.
I like to tease and say I was the
longest and last bidder. I was the only
one with cash in hand at the end of the
day, he said. While first trying to make
a go of things, he spent 100 hours a
week at the shop. Now hes down to an

average of 70-plus hours per week.


I may not live in Claremont, but this
is where I spend the majority of my
waking hours, he said.
Mr. Mannings greatest enjoyment
comes from making people happy
through what he knows best: good food
and good conversation.
Whenever someone comes in, I ask
them, Is anything interesting happening
in your life today? Do you have any big
plans for the weekend? If you ask positive questions, you get a positive response, he said.
Along with putting smiles on cus-

tomers faces, he strives to give back to


the community in more tangible ways.
For instance, Mr. Manning participates
in the eGood program, with three percent of proceeds going to the Claremont
Educational Foundation.
For the last two years, Mr. Manning
and his crew have also provided coffeeto the tune of some 2,000 cups
during the annual Rely for Life 24-hour
cancer walk, set for May 9 and May 10
at the Claremont High School track.
And Mr. Manning is in his second year
as coordinator for Shoes That Fits
Back-to-School and Spring campaigns,
helping gather new athletic shoes, socks
and goodies for financially disadvantaged kids.
It comes partially from my religious
background. It was how I was brought
up, Mr. Manning said of his philanthropic leanings. But I also get a general good feeling out of helping people.
I think most people do.
Despite the tasty food and friendly
vibes, it could be easy to miss The Last
Drop Cafe. The shop, located at 119
Harvard Ave., is just 400 feetaugmented by two umbrella-shaded bistro
tables out frontand is tucked between
two salons, Tintura and Hands Down.
But with word of mouth, the eaterys
popularity is increasing.
We try to feed you more than good
food. We try to feed your soul with
brotherly love, something all of us
crave, Mr. Manning said. Thats why
weve been so successful.

Seeing the world changing in the old classroom


by John Pixley

ome things havent changed. The


film started late. When I got to the
auditorium, I wondered if the
screening was canceled, because it looked
like no one was showing up. Maybe I hadnt gotten the notice.
When I saw that the room was still empty at 7:30
when the film was scheduled to start, I asked the young
woman who opened the door for me if I had the right
time. She said I did. No problem. No worries.
Sure enough, people began coming in a few minutes
later, and the film started after about 15 minutes. I
shouldnt have been surprised. The late start was nothing new at Pitzer College, where the world is a bit less
stressed and a bit more colorful if no less rigorous.
After all, this is where I attended a fall convocation
years ago, and the faculty entered, eventually, to the
strains of Cat Stevens Oh, Theyre Young. This is
where the graduating seniors wear bright orange and
white robes. They may as well be wearing tye-dye.
As Ben Cotner noted, however, the room had
changed. Mr. Cotner, who graduated from Pitzer some
years ago, spoke and answered questions after the film,
The Case Against 8, which he directed along with
Ryan White. He said that it felt a bit strange to be
showing his documentary, which won an award at the
Sundance Film Festival and has been picked up by
HBO, in a room where he took many classes.
It was no longer the dark and cramped hole-in-thewall Avery Hall with the ceiling pressing down, the
wheelchair seating crammed in and the slamming
doors opening onto the covered concrete walkway. It
was the more spacious and lighter George Benson Auditorium with a nice lobby featuring a colorful mural
depicting social activism. Although it is no architectural wonder, and although it is now several years old,
its still a noticeable improvement.
That wasnt the only change, though. And it wasnt
just that a former student, now an award-winning documentary filmmaker featured on a major television
channel, was back on campus.
Lots of things have changed. And they have changed

observer
a lot, as Mr. Cotners film showed. Whats more, things
have changed even more than the documentary shows.
The Case Against 8 is a behind-the-scenes look at
the effort to overturn Proposition 8, which outlawed
same-sex marriage in California. It is a compelling procedural, almost like a whodunit, with an emotional
whallop. It focuses on the gay and lesbian couples who
were the plaintiffs in the case and their remarkable
lawyers, David Boies and Theodore Olson, as they formulated and presented their arguments. There are
glimpses of the pro-Prop 8 folks, and Id like to have
heard more from them and their reasoning (perhaps
thats the journalist in me, or do I just want to see their
bigotry and foolishness and, in some cases, breathtakingly changed minds exposed?) But, as he explained,
thats not the film Mr. Cotner and his co-director set out
to make.
There is incredible change seen in this documentary,
just as it is. Yes, there are those lawyers and their remarkable pairing, with Mr. Boise and Mr. Olson having
famously been on the opposing sides in the Gore vs.
Bush case in Florida that determined the outcome of
the 2000 election. Mr. Olson is a staunch conservative
who, as seen in the film, was pilloried for arguing
against a same-sex marriage ban.
It is a remarkable change that a conservative lawyer
would stand and argue for the right of a gay or lesbian
couple to marry. It is a real change that getting married
is more than some wild-eyed vision in some progressive corner of the gay community. What is more remarkable and even more of a change is thatfar from
being seriously debated in society, much less the
courtsthe idea of two men or two women getting
married didnt exist or was even a joke when I was
growing up. It was frankly unthinkable.
But I saw an even bigger, more remarkable, change

as I watched the documentary. I couldnt help thinking


that, as fascinating as it is as a document, the film is out
of date. It is history. Proposition 8 and the case against
it is, as my nephew would say, so yesterday. It is all but
quaint. After all, as the result of court rulings and other
moves in the past 10 months since the film was completed, same-sex marriage is now legal is 37 of the 50
states plus the District of Columbia and is federally recognized. It is widely thought that the US Supreme
Court will make it legal nationwide by the end of June.
Thats some real change. Id venture to say even
more of a change than what Mr. Cotner, who mentioned having a husband, planned on or dreamed of
showing. Indeed, everyone with anything to say has
commented that the change in attitude regarding gay
people in general and same-sex marriage in particular
over the last 10 or 20 years has been breathtaking.
It is easy to say we are far away from all this change
in Claremont. It is easy, in this tree-lined small town, to
not see the shootings and angry protests, the beheadings and drone strikes, the people without homes and
the unspeakable disasters. It is easy here to think that is
all another world.
But its not, and were not so far away. For one
thing, we all have neighbors who are gay men and lesbians, some of whom are raising families. Claremont
has paid same-sex benefits for some years.
And the end of another school yearyes, already!
is another reminder that Claremont isnt so far away
from all that is going on changing in the world. As with
Ben Cotner coming back to his classroom at Pitzer
College and showing his important, remarkable film,
the Colleges brings the world to Claremont. Look at all
the leaders and experts who come to the Colleges to
speak and, of course, there is all the learning that takes
place here to prepare the graduates going out into the
world.
I also suspect that being at Pitzer and in Claremont
played a part in making Mr. Cotner someone who
speaks up and makes compelling films. Who knows
how many people Claremont has changed in this way?
But, surely, not only does the world come to Claremont, Claremont goes out into the world.

Cutting household water use


by Sam Tanenbaum, Char Miller and Richard Haskell

laremont has a serious


water problem. Its dimensions became glaringly clear on April 18 when
the State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB) announced that the City of Trees
must reduce its residential consumption of water by 36 percent. That is the highest tier of
reductions statewide, putting
Claremont on a par with the
much-maligned Beverly Hills
and Rancho Santa Fe.
Put another way: our per capita water
usage is nearly double the national average, one-and-a-half times higher than
the state average and significantly
higher than Upland, La Verne or
Pomona.
Its useful to look at some Claremont
data for residential use so that you can
compare directly with your monthly

Its OLA Fiesta time


The OLA Fiesta at Our Lady of the
Assumption Church returns to Claremont for a 68th year on Mothers Day
weekend, May 8, 9 and 10.
Among the most popular events in the
city, the Fiesta attracts 15,000 visitors
over the weekend to its renowned international food booths prepared by OLAs
own Hispanic Vietnamese and Filipino
communities. Other draws include big
carnival rides and live entertainment, including evening headliners The Ravelers
(Friday), The ACE Band (Saturday) and
The Way Back Machine (Sunday). Quieter afternoons attractive to families and
seniors feature a Christian band, The Falconers (Saturday) and Sgt. Peppers Beatles Tribute Band (Sunday).
Admission is free. Hours are Friday
from 5 to10 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m.
to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 8

Golden State Water bill. In 2009,


Golden State developed a histogram
showing annual water use for 9,317
single-family residences in Claremont
residences, revealing that:
The average consumption of water
per day in Claremont residences was
588 gallons in 2009. Note that a gallon
of water weighs 8.34 lbs, The average
Claremont residence uses nearly 2.5
tons of water daily!
One ccf (one hundred cubic feet)
equals 748 gallons, hence 588 gallons
per day is equivalent to 23.9 ccf per
month. If your monthly water bill
shows that you are using more than this
on average throughout the year, see the
suggestions below to help you decrease
your consumption.
Although six years old, we believe
the numbers have not changed substantially since then, which is why the
SWRCB is requiring us to slash residential consumption. Here are three of
the many steps we can take to reduce
water use:
1. Because more than half the water
we consume is for outdoor irrigation, it

CHS thespians present


modern-day Odyssey
Claremont High School Theater will
present The Odyssey, a play written by
Mary Zimmerman and adapted from
The Odyssey, on May 7, 8 and 9 at the
Fruechte Theatre. Performances will be
held at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available
online at CHSs ASB webstore for $9 or
at the box office for $10. Buying presale
is recommended.

VIEWPOINT
is imperative that we replace lawns
with local plants or other surfaces that
do not require as much water.
Most of us use roughly 8 ccf per year
for each 100 square feet of grass (or
5984 gallons); it takes at least 160 ccf
per year to maintain 2,000 square feet
of grass (or 119,680 gallons). Removing that amount of lawn should reduce
your average water usage substantially;
doing so will qualify you for a significant rebate from Metropolitan Water
District by way of Golden State Water
Company.
2. Homes with an uncovered swimming pool also lose about five feet of
water per year due to evaporation and
spillageenough to completely refill
the pool. A pool that is 20-by-40 feet
will use 32 ccf of water per year (or
23936 gallons). A pool cover, if used
regularly, will save most of this.
3. Typical indoor water usage runs
between 150 and 300 gallons per day
(gpd), so conservation here is just as
crucial.
The greatest use inside most homes
is for showers. Old showerheads typically use about 75 gallons for a 10minute shower; new showerheads use
just 25 gallons (or less). Replacing old
showerheads that are used twice a day
should save about 100 gpd. Heating
water for showers costs about a half a
cent per gallon for a gas water heater or

1.5 cents per gallon for an electric


water heater. Saving 100 gpd of hot
shower water a day should save about
$15 on monthly gas bills or $45 on
monthly electric bills. Taking shorter
showers will make a major difference.
The second largest use of water inside most homes is for toilets. Old toilets use about six gallons per flush,
while new low-flow toilets use 1.6 gallons. Replacing old toilets that are
flushed (in total) about 12 times per day
will save over 50 gpd.
Washing machines are another major
user of water. Energy Star-certified
front-load washers use on average 13
gallons per load; top-load washers use
23 gallons. Given that the average
American family washes 300 loads a
year, switching out old machines for
more efficient ones could save 3000
gallons annually.
These conservation actions will play
an important part in Claremonts
mandatory reductions. So will steep reductions by the city in its irrigation of
parks and median strips. Local schools
and colleges must be as aggressive, indoors and out. Use less, save more:
thats the key to reaching the state-mandated cut of 36 percent.

Keeping track of track and field


by Mellissa Martinez

ix years ago when I began the column Lex in the City, I ran into Pat
Yarborough at a COURIER event.
She took a long look at me and said, Are
you the same Mellissa Martinez who used
to run around the field as a little girl at
your dads meets? I cant believe youre
all grown up! I smiled broadly and we
hugged.

Years later, I am back at the CHS track nearly every


week reminiscing as I watch my own teenage son compete for the team. When I look out on the field, I am
brought back to my childhood and I can still remember
Pat with her bobbed hair whipping in the wind as she
took notes and stayed late to watch the completion of
the final events. She wasnt just a reporter; she also
loved the sport.
Dating back to the ancient Greeks, track and field is
considered the oldest form of organized sport. Perhaps
because of this, it has given us many common idiomatic expressions, such as jump the gun, track
record, off to a running start, pass the torch, second
wind, take it in stride and toe the line. Although most
of these are self-explanatory, toe the line, which has

LEX
IN THE

CITY
come to mean conscientiously adhere to rules or doctrines, is less clear. In fact, it seems that many people
think the expression is tow the line. In actuality, it
refers to the understanding among athletes that toes
must stay behind the line even in those nerve-racking
few seconds leading up to the start of the race. Everybody adheres to the rules unless, of course, someone
jumps the gun.
There are also many words that exist in the nonsports world that take on entirely new meaning on the
track. Consider these: heat is a series of qualifying
races; kick describes the last push of energy at the end
of a race; baton is the short, hollow tube handed from
one runner to another in a relay; leg refers to the section run by one runner in a relay event; anchor is the
last, and hopefully strongest, leg of a relay race; and
the announcer calls the meet when he or she lists the
events over the loudspeaker. This comes from the notion that runners are being called to the starting line.
In the late 1300s, a race was actually called a stadium. This stemmed from the Greek stadion a measure of length or running track. The Romans also
referred to a race as a stadium, which typically referred
to one-eighth of a Roman mile or a little over 600 feet.
Translations in the Bible call this distance a furlong.
Eventually race, coming from the Old Norse ras running, rush (of water), replaced stadium for the act of
running. By the 1800s, stadium came to mean large,
open oval structure with tiers of seats for viewing
sporting events.
The word track originally meant a footprint or
mark left by anything, and comes from Old French
trac track of horses or trace. Although the sport has
not changed much since the time of the ancient Greeks,
there are some significant differences. In the 776

Olympic games, male athletes also wrestled, boxed


and competed on horses and in armor. These events, of
course, were completed in addition to the ones that remain today: sprints and longer foot races, pole vault,
discus, shot put, high jump and long jump to name a
few. After all, there are over 20 events in track and
field!
Readers may remember that the long jump used to
be called the broad jump. When women were admitted
into the Olympic games as participants in 1928, they
quickly became major competitors in the sport. In
1967, because of the negative association of the word
broad, meaning immoral, coarse or low-class
woman, the event was officially changed to long jump.
Even though females were permitted to compete in
the 1920s, there were some events that they were not
authorized to attempt until very recently. Kids today
are shocked to hear that pole vaulting was not a girls
event back in the olden days when I went to high
school, the mid 80s. At that time, we simply accepted
the fact that women didnt have the upper body
strength for such a leap.
Vaulting did not become a full medal event for females in the Olympics until 2000. Now, in a complete
turnaround, it has become a major competition in
womens track and field. In fact, much of our country
is riveted by female (soon to be Olympian) pole vaulter
Allison Stokke. If you have not yet seen this young
woman soar over the bar, you will be amazed at her
grace and talent. Vault, it seems, was always destined
for a changeit comes from the Latin volvere to turn
around.
Claremont High Schools track and field has also undergone some changes. Parents are now asked to watch
from the bleachers and announcers dont make jokes or
offer running commentary as they call the meets (as
my dad was once famous for).
But, last week, when I looked out from the stands
and saw Assistant Coach John Thalman with his arm
around a student giving a pep talk, my former coach
Rich Ede officiating the meet and my dad, Coach
Richard Martinez, timing races and encouraging kids,
it felt a little bit like the olden days. Im sure that this
scene would have brought a smile to Pats face as it did
to mine.

Claremont COURIER/Friday, May 1, 2015

Preservation matters
by John Neiuber, president of Claremont Heritage

ay has arrived and, with it, so


has National Preservation
Month. In a city where I once
lived, we had a Historical Society, which
most people referred to as the Hysterical
Society.
It was active only when there was a perceived threat
to a historic resource. Everyone would run around in a
sky-is-falling frenzy and, at the end of the day, the efforts expended much energy with little result. The city
lost historic building after historic building. There wasnt the will or foresight in the community to preserve
its historic-built environment.
Fortunately, in Claremont, a culture of preservation
has been part of the landscape since the late 1960s,
with much credit to the late Judy Wright, who among
many others created a culture of preservation in the
city. The preservation movement was the impetus for
the creation of Claremont Heritage. Preservation found
its way into the citys general plan and is an integral
part of decision-making about current development,
renovation and adaptive reuse. The preservation movement helped to create the local historic register and the
Village design guidelines. Subsequent community effort created the climate necessary in 2014 for the city
of Claremont to receive an A+ on the Preservation
Report Card from the Los Angeles Conservancy.
From time to time, however, there are challenges in
Claremont where preservation runs head-on into development. It is typically neither a matter of preservation
for preservations sake, nor that a certain development
or change is not worthy. It is never that simple and just
as preservationists are not the black hats, neither are
developers, property owners or institutions that want to
develop a resource or alter an historic treasure.
Perhaps it is time to begin a discussion about why
preservation matters and why is it important to every
citizen, not only to preservationists. Why does preservation matter?
First and foremost, preservation matters to every

Claremonter because it is one of the main reasons they


live here. They may not always articulate that in terms
of preservation, but they do in terms of what they
enjoy, appreciate and value about Claremont. When a
friend or relative visits from out of town, no one shows
off the I-10 or 210 freeways or the local supermarket.
Most everyone takes their visitors to the Village, the
historic houses, the Wilderness Park or the Colleges, all
perfect examples of preservation. Preservation not only
provides a strong sense of place and pride, but it provides the community with continuitya connection to
the past, a sense of belonging. We are able to visually
understand our present because of the connection to the
past. And we like what we see. We know where we
have been, we can see where we are and that helps us
envision the future.
As a community, Claremont is concerned about its
place in and impact on the environment. Just look at
the efforts that have been mounted in the city with initiatives like the Claremont Home Energy Retrofit Project (CHERP), the Georgetown University Energy Prize
challenge, sustainability elements in the general plan,
Sustainable Claremont, the effort of the city to provide
its own water and the purchase of Johnsons Pasture
and the Wilderness Park to ensure that further development does not encroach on natural habitat. These are
all preservation efforts. They are not independent of the
preservation of the historic-built environment. Not
now, not today, when we now understand the interconnectedness of our environment.
Historic preservation conserves precious natural resources. It reduces waste into our landfills. It saves
countless dollars by repairing and reusing existing
buildings. It is good for our air by reducing carbon

emissions. It does not waste the embodied energy already expended in a building when it is demolished.
A couple of years ago, it was estimated that on
weekends about 65 to 70 percent of the visitors in the
Village are from out of town. There are those who
would like that number to be lower, given the parking
issues and the wait one might experience at a favorite
restaurant. Some years ago, more restaurants and boutiques opened in the original Village and the sidewalks
were no longer rolled up at 5 oclock. Then the city
redeveloped Village West. The expansion continues to
this day. But what is the attraction to the Village? It is
preservation coupled with appropriate development. In
the Village Expansion, the past was included and honored with the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. The
new development is scaled to and complements the
historic fabric of the Village.
Travel expert Arthur Frommer said, Tourism simply doesnt go to a city that has lost its soul. Preservation of the Village and its historic resources has created
a form of heritage tourism, and it has had a positive
economic impact on the city and its businesses.
Whether these tourists are from the local area, visitors
to and parents of students at the Colleges or are attending one of the many community events, they are here
to experience the one-of-a-kind uniqueness and ambience of Claremont.
Preservation does matter. Without it, Claremont becomes a downtown core that goes the way of the
wrecking ball and morphs into a series of strip-mall
structures. It would lose its soul.
Preservation must remain a core value because it informs us about our citys culture and complexity. It attracts people to our city. Preservation attracts
investment and revitalizes aging structures and neighborhoods. It drives our economic engine and is an integral part of sustainability. It is environmentally
responsible. Preservation is a one-way street, because
once an historic site is gone, it is gone forever. And, as
preservationist Jack Neely said, Regret goes only one
way.

OBITUARIES

Eminent botanist, loving husband and father


Bob Thorne died peacefully on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 in his residence at
Oak Tree Lodge, Mt. San Antonio Gardens at the age of 94. Dr. Thorne was
professor emeritus of botany with the
Claremont Graduate University Department of Botany at Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden and curator emeritus of
the herbarium at RSABG. He had lived
in Claremont for 53 years.
He was born on July 13, 1920 in
Spring Lake, New Jersey. Up through
his high school years, he lived in Gulfport and St. Petersburg, Florida. He
graduatedsumma cum laudein 1941
from Dartmouth College and earned his
Master of Science degree in economic
botany from Cornell University in
1942.
The advent of World War II imposed
a hiatus to his graduate studies while
Bob served in the Army Air Force, flying 40 missions as chief navigator
aboard a Consolidated B-24 Liberator.
A favorite story that he loved to tell was
about being shot down over the Adriatic Sea. As he parachuted near the
wateraquatic plants being of keen interest to himhe observed to his delight a species that he had not seen
before. Following WWII, he completed
his PhD at Cornell in 1949.
Dr. Thornes academic career began

at the University of Iowa where, during


his tenure from 1949 to 1962, he advanced from assistant to full professor.
An offer from Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden brought Dr. Thorne to
Claremont, where he served as taxonomist and professor as well as curator of
the RSABG herbarium (RSA-POM).
Upon retirement, he was named professor emeritus by CGU and Pomona College, as well as RSABG taxonomist
and curator emeritus of the herbarium.
Over the course of his long career,
Dr. Thorne was recognized with many
awards including a Fulbright Research

Katherine Kamm
Lifelong Claremont resident
Katherine Kathi L. Kamm died on
April 20, 2015 at the age of 62.
She was born on October 17, 1952 to
Walter and Madge Kamm, and lived
her entire life in the Claremont area.
She was predeceased by her brother
David and is survived by cousins
Richard and Joan Kuhwarth, Richard
Kuhwarth Jr., Catherine Barrington and
Pamela Moore.

Her family would like to thank the


residents and merchants of the Claremont community, who welcomed Kathi
and brought happiness into her life.
A private memorial was held at the
Mountain Village Apartments on April
26, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the National Alliance
on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Scholarship (19591960), Botanical


Society of America Merit Award (1996)
and Southern California Botanists Lifetime Achievement Award (1999). In
2001, he received the prestigious Asa
Gray Award from the American Society
of Plant Taxonomists.
Among colleagues who wrote to support his nomination for the Asa Gray
Award, Dr. Peter Raven, now president
emeritus at the Missouri Botanical Garden, wrote, Bob is an incredible
scholar and a marvelous human being!
and deemed him a world leader in the
study of plant geography, phylogeny
and floristics. Under Dr. Thornes
guidance, Dr. Raven noted, the herbarium grew and prospered, becoming one
of the outstanding repositories of plants
from the western United States and
elsewhere. In 2006, Dr. Thorne was
recognized as a Distinguished Fellow
of the Botanical Society of America,
the highest honor that BSA bestows.
Until a few years ago, Dr. Thorne
regularly worked in his office at
RSABG, resulting in the publication of
An updated classification of the class
Magnoliopsida(Thorne &
Reveal,Botanical Review, 2007) and
Vascular Plants of the High Sierra San
Pedro Mrtir, Baja California, Mexico(Thorne, Moran & Minnich,Aliso,

2010).
In addition to his plant collections for
the herbarium (over 60,000 specimens
added), he was a serious collector of
postage stamps, amassing a large collection that emphasized stamps of
plants and birds.
His colleagues in the plant sciences
and many friends will sorely miss Bob
Thorne but, by virtue of the scientific
knowledge that he contributed, his
legacy will long endure.
Dr. Thorne is survived by his wife of
68 years, Mae Zukel Thorne, his
daughter Linda Thorne and her husband
Tony Petrella and his nephew and his
wife, Doug and Karen Fredericks. He
also leaves his great-niece Colby Poppleton and niece Kathie Fredericks as
well as two cherished great-grandchildren, Katie and Zoe Petrella.
A Celebration of Life will be held at
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden on
Saturday, July 11, 2015.In lieu of flowers, the family requests that Bob
Thornes life be honored by donations
to Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden to
be used to advance the kind of scientific work to which he dedicated his
professional life. Contributions may be
made to RSABG, 1500 N. College
Ave., Claremont, CA 91711.

visiting Glendora High on Wednesday, 4-1.

Glendora scored again in the second with

inning off with a single that was almost caught
by pitcher Tyler Witt. Then the Tartans put

Claremont senior Trent Troncone delivers a hard
throw to first base to get the out early in the Packs
league game against Glendora on Wednesday in
Claremont. Claremont lost 4-1 and now have a record
of 3-7 in league and 8-10 overall.

triple nonetheless and the RBI.


Down by two, Claremont looked like they were on
a comeback in the bottom of the second when sophomore Kyle Scalmanini singled on the first pitch of the
inning. However, junior Jack Pavlisins attempted
sacrifice bunt was popped up for the out. Next, sophomore Matt Hohn was hit by a pitch (the first of two
to hit him during the game) and Claremont was in
business with one out and two runners on base. Unfortunately for the Pack, Glendoras pitcher, senior
Ryan Beyer, struck out the next two batters and Claremont went scoreless.
Claremont got their only run in the third inning
when Beyer walked senior Trent Troncone, then gave
up a single to sophomore Jake Gentry, advancing
Troncone to third. Next up, junior Cole Prentice hit a
long fly ball to right field and Troncone tagged for the
sacrifice.
Claremont had a big chance in the fifth when the
lead-off hitter senior Isaiah Montoya, hit a long fly
over the left fielders head for a double. Ryan Betancourt then hit a ground ball single up the middle,
prompting Montoya to advance to third, but he was
tagged out.
The two hits prompted Glendora coach Don Henley to pull Beyer, replacing him with sophomore Hayden Pearce. The gamble seemed to work as he struck
out Troncone and got Gentry to ground out, ending
the inning unscathed.
Glendora scored again in the sixth with an RBI
double from Gardner scoring junior Nolan Collett,
who had taken base with a single. They got their last
run in the seventh with some very clever base running
from Rodgers, who stole two bases and then tagged
from third.
The key to the Tartans victory came through the
execution of clutch plays and good base running, the
same areas where the Pack struggled. Claremont left
nearly 10 runners on base, giving up multiple chances
to even the score. Other factors contributing to the
loss were the absence of first baseman Chandler
Boldig who was out with an injury, and Troncones

13

bat was unusually quiet.


Still, the Pack played a solid game, anchored by a
fine performance from senior Witt on the mound. In
six innings he gave up six hits, three runs, struck out
four and walked only two. Montoya and Prentice had
a good day defensively, as did Scalmanini who made
an amazing catch on a long fly ball in right field.
The Pack has just five more games, two at home,
and faces Glendora again on Friday. Claremonts
record is now 3-7 in league and 8-10 overall.

Claremont After Hours: A Taste of Claremont

eekend temperatures were


low, but spirits were high at
last Saturdays A Taste of
Claremont fundraiser.

Though rain clouds and dark skies threatened to


dampen Rotary of Claremonts flagship event, inclement weather couldnt keep away the crowds. Local
foodies once again showed up in droves for a sampling
of Claremonts best food and drink offerings.
A Taste of Claremont, now in its 16th year, continues to be one of the most widely attended events
of the year. Endless helpings of food and drink,
paired with an upscale raffle and silent auction,
draw in hundreds of visitors and participants.
And the event continues to grow. A dozen new
vendors joined this years celebration, offering deli-

cacies to delight the discerning


palate. New to the scene was
Papas Artisinal of La Verne,
which offered a concoction sure
to a-maizea white corn
veloute, or soup, topped with a
smoked carrot cream.
Another newcomer was La Verne
Brewing Co., serving up a seasonal
batch of its B St.
Pineapple Blonde,
an American-style
blonde ale brewed
with fresh fruit.
While they might be

new to the Taste, the local brew house is excited to


be celebrating its two-years anniversary in May.
Along with the new came the old. Fan favorite
Euro Caf participated for its 11th year, bringing
Portuguese flair with offerings such as feijoada, a
bean stew, and carnes estufada, roasted black angus
with a sweet pepper sauce.
Euro Caf owner Joey Medeiros was also representing his newest establishment, Nunos Bistro,
housed in the College Park shopping center in Upland. This upscale bistro and bar previewed its
wares at last years Taste of Claremont. Now that
they are officially open, they came back to wow
guests with tasty treats like their popular tapas
porquinhos, tasty dates and linguica sausage
wrapped in bacon drizzled with spicy honey sauce.
With two busy restaurants, it seems impossible
that Mr. Medeiros has a moment to spare. But he
assured us, I wouldnt miss it. It is a great event
for a great cause put on by a great organization.
The staff of Packing House Wines came out to
show off their culinary chops along with their wine
prowess. Since expanding their kitchen two years
ago, owner Sal Medina has been working hard to
introduce Claremonters to new culinary adventures.
We try to keep it approachable, said Mr. Medina.
If you love our burgers, you will love our rabbit.
Every year there is a buzz around a certain dish or
drink, and this year the crowd-pleaser was a Mediterranean-tinged treat, a smoked pork chop provided by
Hillcrest Senior Living. And this isnt the first time
they have gained acclaim; in years past, they have
consistently left crowds begging for more.
Event chair John Allen channeled his love for
helping others in planning this years event.
Whether welcoming a new vendor or greeting a familiar face, Mr. Allen credits the crowds, and his
team, with shaping the fundraiser into a smash success year after year.
The best part of the event is meeting and greeting
new people, vendors and Rotarians, especially if it is
their first time attending. It is great to see the results
of so many peoples hard work, Mr. Allen said.
The effort pays off. A Taste of Claremont makes
the club enough money to support local ventures
and contribute to national and international causes.
This year, one of the Rotarians crowing achievements was sending nice Claremont High School
students to the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
(RYLA) at Thousand Pines camp in Crestline, California. This intensive three-day camp aims to help
students develop their strengths and abilities to become future leaders, a cause close to Rotarys heart.
It is success stories like this, made possible through
events like the Taste of Claremont, that truly show
the generosity of spirit alive in our community.
Its not only the taste of Claremont. It is the flavor
of Claremont, local businessman Jess Swick said.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding on this property lien, you
should understand that there are risks involved in
bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on
a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically
entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the
highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien
being auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult either of
these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed
of trust on this property.
Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the
right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is
possible that at the time of the sale the opening
bid may be less than the total debt
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale
date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed
one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the
California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made
available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to
those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if
applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the
sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299

assigned to this case 2014-07847-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in
duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the

nicipal Code (CMC), which is warranted when a
reduction in consumer demand of between 11 and
30 percent is needed to respond to existing water
conditions; and
WHEREAS, Under CMC Section 8.30.060, declaration of a Level 2 Water Supply Shortage requires the City to implement specific mandatory
conservation measures including:
Limits watering days to two days per week during the months of April through October and one
day a week between November and March;
Requires the repair of irrigation leaks, breaks or
malfunctions within 48 hours of notification of the
property owner;
Limits the filling of ornamental lakes or ponds;
Limits washing of vehicles with water unless by
low water use methods such as a commercial car
wash, use of a hand held bucket, or use of a hose
where the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle device that causes it to cease dispensing water immediately when not in use;
Limits the filling of residential pools or spas by
more than one foot; and
WHEREAS, On April 23, 2015, City Manager,
Tony Ramos, declared a Level 2 Water Supply
Shortage pursuant to Section 8.30.080.A of the
Claremont Municipal Code, with the related
mandatory water conservation requirements taking
effect on May 11, 2015, not less than ten days after
the declaration; and
WHEREAS, On April 28, 2015, the City Council
of the City of Claremont held a public hearing, to
consider affirming the City Managers Declaration
of al Level 2 Water Supply Shortage at which time
all persons wishing to testify in connection with
this Resolution were heard.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CLAREMONT


CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
SECTION 1. The City Council has determined
that the declaration of a Level 2 Water Supply
Shortage, consistent with the Emergency Regulation adopted by the state water board is a ministerial action required by the Emergency Regulations.
Therefore the City has no discretion with regard to
declaring a Level 2 Water Supply Shortage in accordance with the Citys Water Conservation and
Supply Shortage Program (CMC Chapter 8.30) to
implement the mandatory water conservation
measures and restrictions on water use and method
of use. The adoption of this Resolution is therefore statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State
CEQA Guidelines section 15268 and California
Public Resources Code section 21080 (b)(1).
The City Council has also determined that the declaration of a Level 2 Water Supply Shortage in accordance with the Citys Water Conservation and
Supply Shortage Program in response to the Governors declaration of a statewide state of emergency due to severe drought conditions and
consistent with the Emergency Regulation adopted
by the state water board is an emergency project
necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency.
The adoption of this Resolution is therefore statutorily exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines section 15269(c). Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby affirms the
City Mangers declaration that a Level 2 Water
Supply Shortage exists and that the mandatory
Level 2 water conservation measures and water use

restrictions identified in Sections 8.30.040,


8.30.050, and 8.030.060 of the Claremont Municipal Code shall hereby be implemented and in effect in accordance with Chapter 8.030 of the
Claremont Municipal Code beginning on May 11,
2015 and extending until such time that the City
Council declares that the water supply shortage has
ended; and
SECTION 3. This water shortage declaration is
made to protect health safety and welfare and to
the extent that compliance with the water conservation requirements set forth in Chapter 8.30 of the
Claremont Municipal Code causes a person, business or entity to otherwise be in violation of yard
landscaping or property maintenance requirements
set forth in Chapter 16 of the Code, the City Council hereby declares that the City should not take action to enforce the Chapter 16 requirements as it
requires living turf and other water sensitive plant
material until the City declares an end to the water
supply shortage
SECTION 4. The mayor shall sign this Resolution
and it shall become effective on May 11, 2015, and
the City Clerk shall attest and certify to the passage
and adoption thereof, and within five (5) days, shall
cause the same to be published in the Claremont
Courier, a weekly newspaper of general circulation, printed, published, and circulated in the City
of Claremont.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this
28th day of April, 2015.

CLAREMONT, CA 917110000 Assessors Parcel No.: 8671-043-041 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should understand that
there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the
property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee
auction does not automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the property. You should
also be aware that the lien being auctioned off
may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be responsible for
paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the
property. You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens
that may exist on this property by contacting the
county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for
this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of
sale may be postponed one or more times by the
mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that information about
trustee sale postponements be made available to
you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not
present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether
your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for

by the Trustee: CA-14-651794-CL. Information
about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled
sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.
The best way to verify postponement information
is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common
designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be
obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is
unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall
be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and
the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the
Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a
return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall
have no further recourse against the Mortgagor,
the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagees Attorney. If
you have previously been discharged through
bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders rights
against the real property only. As required by law,
you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill

of the property. You should also be aware that the
lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear
title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding
liens that may exist on this property by contacting
the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these resources,
you should be aware that the same Lender may hold
more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the
property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date
shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If
you are considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the property
itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the
highest bidder at the auction, you are or may
be responsible for paying off all liens senior to
the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority,
and size of outstanding liens that may exist on
this property by contacting the county
recorder's office or a title insurance company,
either of which may charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same
lender may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown
on this notice of sale may be postponed one or
more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g
of the California Civil Code. The law requires
that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those notpresent at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale
date has been postponed, and, if applicable,
the rescheduled time and date for the sale of
this property, you may call 800-542-2550 for
information regarding the trustee's sale or visit
this Internet Web site www.rtspacific.com
using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very
short in duration or that occur close in time to
the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the
Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled
sale. In compliance with California Civil Code
2923.5(c), the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, or
authorized agent declares: that it has contacted
the borrower(s) to assess their financial situation
and to explore options to avoid foreclosure; or
that it has made efforts to contact the borrower(s)
to assess their financial situation and to explore
options to avoid foreclosure by one or more of
the following methods: by telephone, by United
States mail; either 1st class or certified; by
overnight delivery; by personal delivery; by email; by face to face meeting or the borrower has
surrendered the property to the mortgagee,
trustee, beneficiary, or authorized agent and that
the compliance with Civil Code Section 2923.5
was made at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
of this Notice of Sale. DATED: 4/7/2015, RTS

laws of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 7 of Article XI of
the California Constitution, the City has a duty to
provide for the safety of its residents and members of
the public by maintaining and providing adequate facilities for the provision of public safety services; and
WHEREAS, an assessment conducted of the existing police facility shows that such facility is inadequate to accommodate future public safety needs of
the City and does not meet state and federal building

funding for the site acquisition, design, construction
and furnishing of a new public safety facility to adequately service City residents and members of the

related expenses related thereto or as deemed necessary by the City Council or as required by law, regulation or contractual obligation of the City, and any

routine report to the City Council.
SECTION 8. Annual Report. If the ballot measure authorizing the Citys special parcel tax to finance
the site acquisition, design, construction and furnishing of a new police facility is approved by the
qualified voters of the City, the City shall annually

City. The City Manager is hereby authorized and
directed to provide all necessary information to
the Treasurer-Tax Collector of the County to effect proper billing and collection of the special

so long as any proceeds of the special parcel tax
remain unexpended, the City Manager, or
his/her designee, shall cause a report to be prepared by an independent auditor and filed with
the City Council no later than December 31 of
each year commencing December 31, 2016,
stating (i) the amount of special parcel tax proceeds collected and expended in such year; and
(ii) the status of any projects or description of
any services or programs funded from proceeds
of the special parcel tax.
SECTION 5. Application of Special Parcel
Tax. The special parcel tax shall be assessed to
the owner of each parcel within the City, unless
such parcel is owned by a governmental entity,
in which case, the tax imposed shall be assessed
to the holder of the possessory interest in such
parcel, unless such holder is also a governmental entity.
SECTION 6. Rate and Imposition of Special Parcel Tax. The special parcel tax shall
be levied each year, commencing July 1,
2016, on all parcels of property, except such
parcel owned by a governmental entity, improved or unimproved, within the boundaries
of the City, at the maximum rate of $286.00
per parcel per year.
SECTION 7. Severability. The special parcel tax shall not apply to any person, entity, or
property as to whom or which it is beyond the
power of the City to impose the tax herein provided. If for any reason any provision of this
Ordinance or the application thereof is found
to be invalid, or if the special parcel tax is
found inapplicable to any particular parcel
within the City by a Court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of this Ordinance and the
application of the special parcel tax to the remaining parcels within the City shall not be affected and, to this end, the provisions of this
Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 8. Successors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Ordinance and its
special tax authorization and authority shall
be binding upon any successors in interest to
the City.
SECTION 9. Effective Date. This Ordinance
shall be effective upon approval by two thirds
of the qualified voters voting on the November
3, 2015 ballot measure as set forth in Resolution 2015-16 adopted by the City Council on
April 28, 2015.
